Kitchen Epiphany
I have all this barely contained rage lately. Every time I look at my kitchen, or my bathroom, or my craft room or the living room. My gut tightens up and heaves a little bit. I SO AGGRAVATED. Everything is messy. We have too much stuff. There are crackers on the floor and 4700 tiny socks and cat barf and old mail and tools and CRAP. OHMYFUCKINGGOD could someone please fucking get rid of all this shit? I want to go live in totally empty room somewhere in the middle of nowhere.If it can be hermetically sealed so much the better.
I keep trying to remind my brain that we are doing the best we can at the moment. That messy doesn’t matter that much. That it will get better. That I am making small progress everyday.
But it’s NOT working! I am still enraged.I feel like I can’t keep up. I can’t get rid of shit fast enough. I can’t organize the shit we do have.I’ve been fretting about this for like a year now. I started slowly doing crap reduction on the theory that once I have less crap it will be easier to get organized… This is clearly not working out for me and it’s time to change tactics.
This morning as I emptied the dishwasher I realized that the way our kitchen shelves is set is is fucking stupid and makes no sense and that it contributes to our never ending kitchen chaos. Basically, when I open the dishwasher to put the dishes away I CAN NOT reach where they go. Pretty obviously a problem, eh?
I mean, I understand the principles of organizing, at least, I think I do…
Have all the items you use most often in accessible positions that work this the flow of your daily activities. Er… okay that’s the only thing I can think of. What am I missing?
My friend G. has said she will help me reorganize, possibly this Monday. I am going to take some before pictures detailing the stupidity and then I will take after pictures showing improvements! I’m excited. And scared.

Dumb men must design all of these un-user-friendly kitchens. I have the EXACT same problem.
